Would it be worth upgrading from a Judy TT to a Judy SL. I don't much technical riding with the exception of some pretty rough down hill from time to time. The Judy TT is doing ok for what I do, but for what I can get the SL for if it is better then I will do it.
Thanks...
getting SL would give you the oppurtunity to have 100mm travel, having said that they are both entry level forks and the SL arent really worth the $130 you'd have to part with. It might be worth saving up and getting a mid range fork instead. you dont save any weight they both come in at4.07 lb. (1.82 kg). Although you would get the added advantage of a better ride the Sl comes with a Hydra Coil with Air Assist over the TT's coil spring. Maybe if you have a spare $130 it might actually be worth it, how much do you really need the forks tho?

Probably not that much. We ride up a mountain a couple times a week and coming down there is a lot of ruts and gravel. My fork handles it well though and right now I don't want to spend a lot on another one. Which fork would you recommend without going high end?
Thanks...

I just bought a Duke SL for 200 bucks and i love it so far, its got 100mm of air travel and the rebound adjuster is wonderful and easy to change as its on the outside of the fork.
If i had it to do over again i might have gone with a marzocchi as RockShox is in and out of chapter 11 so support if it breaks might not be easy to find, but i do love the fork so far. its a world beter than the indy C i had on it before

What about a Manitou Six Deluxe? It looks like a better fork than both the Judy's and has a great price at Supergo right now?
